At work I coonect an laptop to the network and need to check for email frequently. Using Outlook. The problem is the password won't remain despite checking the "Remember Password" checkbox. Does anyone know what to change so the I don't need to login everytime? e.g. is there a setting a registry that will fix it? Thanks

Use the following steps if your password is not being retained: Quit all programs. Click Start, click Run, and in the Open box, type regedt32 and then click OK. On the Window menu, click HKEY_CURRENT_USER on Local Machine, and then locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider Click Protected Storage System Provider. On the Security menu, click Permissions. In the Permissions for Protected Storage System Provider window, under the Security tab, click the Advanced button. In the Access Control Settings for Protected Storage System Provider window, under the Permissions tab, click to select the Reset Permissions for all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions check box, and then click OK. Click Yes when you receive the following prompt: This will remove explicitly defined permission on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions to those child objects. Only inheritable permissions propagated from Protected Storage System Provider will take effect. Do you wish to continue? Click OK to close all windows to get back to Registry Editor. Double-click to expand the Protected Storage System Provider folder, click to select the user subkey folder (which usually starts with an "S" and has some long set of numbers separated by hyphens), and then press DELETE. If multiple users use this machine then you will find multiple subkeys, if those users have the same password retention problem, delete the subkey folder for those users also. This will not delete any account information and will only reset some permission related to password retention issue. On the Registry menu, click Exit, and then restart the computer. After the computer restarts, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Mail or "Mail" icon. Click to select Show Profiles, and then click Properties for the selected Internet Account. On the Server tab, type the password, click to select Remember Password, click Apply, and then click OK. Start Outlook. On the Tools menu, click Send and Receive, to test if your password is retained.
